"I find it kind of insane that so many people continue to expend any effort at all"
Oh come on now. Totally unfair.
"Unless they derive personal pleasure from it"
What's wrong if they do? What do people gain from watching
football or answering other peoples questions at no charge
on stack exchange?
"just write the author off forever as a journalist"
Are you saying the OP or the journalist at Newsweek?
Anyway I thought it was an excellent analysis (assuming of course the base facts are true...)
Your top comment is a put down in the vein of "anyone important wouldn't have time to do something like this". Like something a parent says to a child not recognizing that they might enjoy and gain benefit from something that the parent doesn't understand.
- rdl 13y agoI was saying if they do derive personal pleasure, fine, but the horse is dead already. (I meant the newsweek author should be written off as a journalist. And probably as a human being.) He did an exceptionally good and thorough job in debunking it here, but he's also one of the ~10 most important people in Bitcoin, so I'm just kind of sad if he felt obligated to do this. If he did it because it was fun for him personally, then great.
